僕の一生

灰色の一日が

幾重にも続くこの人生で

あなただけが

燃えるような光だった

僕は蛾のように

その光へと飛び

翼を焼かれ

奈落へ落ちていった

たぶん僕が死んだなら

この身体の外に

花が咲くでしょう

せめてその花だけは

あなたの目に

美しく映るでしょう

たぶん僕が死んだなら

あなたは少しだけ

感謝するのかもしれない

僕がここに

存在していたことを

そして

彼は一生で

何を成したのかを

だから僕の代わりに

色彩に満ちた野原が

この世界を飾る

人々に

小さな喜びを

運ぶのなら

死んでよかったと

思える

たぶん僕が死んだなら

この身体の外に

花が咲くでしょう

せめてその花だけは

あなたの目に

美しく映るでしょう

たぶん僕が死んだなら

あなたは少しだけ

感謝するのかもしれない

僕がここに

存在していたことを

そして

彼は一生で

何を成したのかを

My entire life—

in this life where gray days

layer endlessly upon one another,

you alone

were a burning light.

Like a moth,

I flew toward that light,

my wings scorched,

and fell into the abyss.

If I were to die, perhaps

flowers would bloom

outside this body.

At the very least,

may those flowers

look beautiful

in your eyes.

If I were to die, perhaps

you would feel

a small sense of gratitude—

that I once existed here,

and wonder

what, in his lifetime,

he managed to accomplish.

So if, in my place,

a field filled with color

were to adorn this world,

bringing people

small moments of joy—

then I could think

that dying was worth it.

If I were to die, perhaps

flowers would bloom

outside this body.

At the very least,

may those flowers

look beautiful

in your eyes.

If I were to die, perhaps

you would feel

a small sense of gratitude—

that I once existed here,

and wonder

what, in his lifetime,

he managed to accomplish.
